The Valkyrie's table cannot be without Chef Ben

As soon as she got ashore, the girl shivered in the autumn wind.

"Hey...it's so cold."

"Stupid, it's so dangerous here, what if you accidentally drown?"

Mei wiped the water off Kiana's face, and Kiana smiled innocently.

"It's okay, Meiyi. I can't just watch Boss Jiang's hard work go to waste, right?"

Jiang Ye, who was about to take off his clothes, had the urge to put them back on, but after hesitating for a moment, he chose to take off his coat and handed it to Kiana.

"Put it on first."

"No need! I'm in good health... A-choo." Kiana rubbed her nose, "I'm fine!"

"Still showing off."

Mei flicked Kiana's head.

Jiang Ye handed the clothes to Meiyi, Meiyi thanked her and put it on Kiana.

"Go back first. If you keep blowing for a while, you'll really catch a cold."

"It will take at least twenty minutes to get back to the dormitory from here." Bronya leaned against the tree. "By this time, even if we go back, it will be dry by then."

"Then come to my place first. It'll probably take about seven or eight minutes to walk there."

This reservoir is one of the sources of living water on the island. It is not very big, but there are many fish. When you are bored, fishing here is also a pastime.

It is also very close to Jiang Ye’s home.

"Then I'd better numb it first.

Sorry to bother you. "

Although Mei didn't want to trouble Jiang Ye, if she really blew it back, Kiana would most likely catch a cold, which would be even more troublesome.

"Let's go."

Jiang Ye simply packed up his equipment, took the only fish, and went home with the three of them.

……

When you come to the courtyard, the decoration of this courtyard always makes people's eyes bright. There are green plants everywhere, and vegetables are planted in many places. There is only a stone road above the ground as a passage.

Although it is a bungalow, the room is not small, with two bedrooms, a living room, a private bathroom and a private kitchen, which is perfect for one or two people to live in.

Mei walked in the courtyard and looked around. Boss Jiang was really consistent in his words and deeds.

It's a bit like a free and easy person.

But what Kiana is interested in are the vegetables and fruits grown with ginger leaves.

After opening the door, Jiang Ye pointed in the direction.

"The bathroom is over there, it's gas powered, and the hot water will be available in a few minutes. I'll get the towels, and you can put your clothes in the washing machine."

"It's troublesome."

Bronya walked into the room, looking very curious, holding out her cell phone. Hey, there's WiFi!

Jiang Ye gets things very quickly.

"The bath towels and clothes are all new. I have a dryer here. I'll wear them for now."

"Thank you so much for your help." Mei took the clothes and handed them to Kiana at the door.

Girls are still very slow when taking a shower, especially when washing their hair, which is even slower.

But no one was in a hurry. Jiang Ye brought a few people to the living room and sat down.

As a guest, you will inevitably start to look around the house.

Although not many people come, Jiang Ye, who lives alone, still cleans the room regularly, so the room is very clean.

"If you are bored, you can read a book or play games. I have a computer, a VR helmet, and a TV that can be connected to PS in my room."

Hearing this, Bronya's eyes lit up.

“Are there many games?”

"I just bought some things I liked... I usually like to play Honkai Impact 3rd... Do you want to play?"

"May I?"

Just as Mei was about to stop Bronya, Jiang Ye came out with a notebook.

There was nothing in his notebook, so after handing it to Bronya, he didn't pay much attention to it.

He started chatting with Mei.

To be precise, it was Mei who started chatting with him.

It’s nothing more than some cooking experiences and insights.

"When stewing beef, there is always a faint bitter taste. It's probably not because the caramel color is overcooked, but it's a bit like there's something wrong with the spices."

"You can try removing the seeds from the grass fruit. When it is stewed for too long, it will have a bitter taste."

"Is that so? Then I'll give it another try when I get back!"

……

Chapter 19: Your bestie, are you still in need of good friends?

In the kitchen, Jiang Ye was processing a still-fresh grass carp, and Kiana was already lying at the door watching.

She remembered Jiang Ye saying that he couldn't bear to see killing.

Jiang Ye was seen holding the fish head with a wooden stick and hitting the fish twice, which made the fish stunned. Then he quickly began to scrape the scales and cut open its belly. All the actions were done at the same time. When the fish appeared on the chopping board, the stunned Kiana finally reacted.

It took less than a minute to clean the fish, and you call this "not caring about killing"? ?

The frightened girl shuddered and ran to the living room.

"Mei Mei, what are you doing?"

"Boss Jiang gave me a few recipes. I want to write them down and make them for you guys when I get back."

"Okay!"

Kiana hugged Mei's neck.

"Okay, stop making trouble."

Kiana had just taken a shower and her body smelled sweet, which made Mei's face look a little rosy.

The girl's clothes had been washed, and now that she was close to him, she could feel everything.

"Don't you want to blow dry your hair?"

Kiana shook her head, leaving a lot of water stains on her slightly damp hair.

"No, blow-drying my hair is too troublesome, unless Mei blows it for me!"

Kiana nuzzled Mei's neck, "Is that okay?"

"Idiot, there's nothing I can do about you."

Mei rubbed Kiana's dog head.

"Hehe, I know Mei is the best to me!"

Bronya, who was playing games nearby, glanced at it and then continued to immerse herself in the game world.

……

When Jiang Ye came out, Kiana was already lying on the sofa, almost falling asleep in a daze, with her long hair scattered beside the sofa, almost touching the ground.

"time to eat."

When she heard about eating, Kiana stood up straight, "Eat? Where is the food?"

"..."

Mei covered her face and Bronya sighed.

Jiang Ye leaned against the wall and said, "Let's go to the dining area to eat."

"Good~"

He didn't prepare any ingredients at home, so he didn't cook much. Except for the fish that Kiana caught herself, he didn't cook it spicy considering other people's tastes.

“It’s spicy fish!”

Kiana sniffed it and said, "It smells so good!"

Mei and Bronya also sat down, and Mei was a little curious.

“Can grass carp do the same?”

"Rather than saying it can be done this way, it's better to say there aren't many ways to cook it. For example, aquatic products like grass carp and carp have a unique earthy smell, which is not easy to handle, so many chefs choose to use heavy oil and salt to solve it.

After frying, the fried food combined with the spicy taste can basically cover up the disadvantages of the ingredients.

Of course, the same goes for pickled fish.”

"I see……"

"But you don't have to pursue this deliberately. Most people can't taste that flavor, so stewing it is also a good choice."

“I just can’t taste it!”

Mei picked up a piece of fish, picked out the bones, and put it in Kiana's bowl.

"Thank you Mei!"

"Eat slowly, eat slowly."

Mei looked at Kiana lovingly. She liked eating fish but didn't like picking bones.

So I usually pick them out for her.

Bronya looked at the fish covered with chili peppers and hesitated.

She really wanted to try it, but it looked so spicy...
